The Destructive English Snarrow


The English sparrow has been declared Oft
and over again as being very destructive
bird. Alta recent meeting Of the Maryland
Academy Of Sciences Baltimore, the English
sparrow was thoroughly discussed BY the
learned members of the society. DR.. A. P.
Sharp called attention again to the destruction
caused in the country by the English sParrows.
lie said this was of so serious a nature that
he thought some actor should lie taken ny
the State to destroy these birds, as they were
increasing in numbers to an alarming ex-
tent, one pair of them raising four broods a
season and generally five young at brood.
They are very destructive to growing grain,
aud especially to the young wheat and young
corn just sprouting. Their sagacity is such
that il is almost impossible to shoot or trap
them, aud the Only available way is to DESTROY
the eggs. They also drive away aud destror
tie nests Of the ground sparrow, the blue
birds and many of the birds of song

First Day Of Snring--snndnr d

First Day Of Spring Sunday the FIRST
day of spring was mild, yet bracing, day
for the most part bright with sunlight, but
occasionally Swallowed by gray clouds Il
was the FIRST day Of spring, the period when
the sun enters the yernal equinox, which
event marks the beginning Of the tropical
year There are two such periods in the year,
the later one, or autumnal squinoI, occurring
about the 23rd Of September, and deposing
the approach Of winter. At these times the
ecliptic or great circle which the sun appears
to describe in the course Of year crosses the
imaginary plane which is formed BY e1teud-
ing the earth equator into space. The sun
then being opposite the earths equator II
causes the days aud nights all over the world
TO be Of equal length. Hence the term equi-
noX. At the present period the sun enters
the constellation Of Aries, the ram, which is
the first of the twelve signs into which the
zodiac is divided All the astronomical phe
nomena for the year, as well as the fixed and
movable festivals, are accurately set forth ia
The Sun Almanac, which in this, as in other
respects, is invaluable as book Of reference

Volga (Dak.) Tribune: The "Twin
Cities" St. Paul and Minneapolis, are
much like many married couples; they
quarrel and scratch between themselves,
but if an outsider seeks to injure either by
word or deed they combine and jump on
the interloper with all four feet. Never
theless they are the pride of our North
west, and may they prosper and grow till
the two become one, which latter oncum
nation is a QUESTION of only a few years.

Santa Cruz Cali Sentinel: A man who
applied to county clerk Martin for . mar
rage licence the other day wal SO nervous
that he forgot the name of the woman
whom he was about to marry, and had to
90 to her house three times before he
could remember her name long enough to
tell it to the clerk. Each time he went to
the house she had to repeat her name over
to him several times. and as soon as he
reached the clerks officeshe could not re-
member it, until at the end Of the third
trip, by a strong effort, he managed to
think of the name.

would settle the matter beyond dispute. 1t
is not necessary to question the justice Of
the claims of these two territories for state
hood; but it is eminently fair and proper
to call attention to the fact that the same
house which turned a deaf ear to Dako-
tas request now looks with fayoring eye
on that Of her two neighbors whose com
bined population does not equal her own.
By all means let Montana and Washing
ton have their rights, but, first of all, let
justice be done Dakota. To her is due the
first consideration.

The Saskatchewan Country.

A correspondent, writing to the Eus-
baaRmaS, has the following to say Of the
soil in the Saskatchewan country.
The soil here is a black loan from six
10 eighteen inches in depth, with a gray
ely clay subsoil. The country from here
west to the foot of the Rockies abouttwen-
ty miles, is rolling hills; a great portion Of
it covered with buckbrush, r%osebushes and
scrubby willows. 1t will produce fine crops
Of vegetables or grain without irrigation.
There was as fine a quality of vegetables
grown on this ranch last year as | have
ever saw in any country, including pota-
toes, ~rutabagas, cabbage, c~auliflower, car
rots and beets; they were raised without
irrigation. The potatoes were not as large
as have seen in Montana, bnt are of very
superior quality. There were four hun
dred and fifty bushels Of oats and barley
raised on ten acres without irrigation.
There were forty thousand bushels of grain
threashed between here and Calgary last
year, principally oats and barley, and a
small amount of wheat, all of superior
quality. The country to the east OF here is
comparatively level as far as the eye can
reach. The great drawback to the rapid
settlement of the country is scarcity OF
timber. There is coal found on High riv-
er about thirty-five miles from here. l
think if the country was properly pros
pected coal could be found almost any
where. The sod is very heavy and it takes
a good team to break it. 1t takes about
years to get it in proper shape for cul-
tivation, so tina. emigrants and intending
settlers in this country should have from
W to three thousand dollars to commence |
business with. | see no reason why in a |
feW years this should not become one of
the wheat producing countries of the
northwest; at least two-thirds of the coun-
try from the boundary line to Peace river
be cultivated for a distance of over
sixteen hundred miles; and even if any
portion of it should need irrigation there
are numerous streams coming down from
the mountains that afford any amount of
water with plenty of fall for taking out
bitches. Nearly all the land in this part
d the country is held by leases, but that
does aot hinder actual settlers from home
stealing and pre-empting. So there is no
about immigrants getting all the
land they want. There is considerable big
cattle speeulations and forming new com
panies, but whether they will amount to
anything l do not know; but if anything
turn up | will keep you posted.
